Mormon Recruits.
[From the Cleveland Herald, February 6.]
On Friday, thirteen families, consisting of forty-one persons, mostly adults, passed through this city en route to Salt Lake City. They were all converts to the Mormon faith, and were re-cruited in England. When they left Liverpool their party consisted of fifty-two persons, but on the passage, which occupied seventy-six days, eleven died. One whole family fell vic-tims to ship fever, while eight others were de-pleted by the death of one or more of its mem-bers. Among the party were two bright, intel-ligent looking young ladies, apparently not over eighteen years of age, who had lost father and mother on the trip, but were bound to go on, though advised by others to return. The whole of the three dozen and odd appeared to be well provided for. They were accompanied by an agent of Brigham Young, named Barstow, under whose teachings they became Mormons, and who is piloting them to their destination.
